The Spouses Of Supreme Court Justices Shouldn't Be Forced To Disclose Anything

He didn't have to recuse himself. Even if he were aware that a Council that his friend paid dues to, wrote a brief, he woudn't of had to recuse himself.
An Amicis Brief from the Council of his friend isn't grounds for recusal?

I thought he claimed his friend had no business before the court?

You should know that the court has to grand permission for someone to file an Amicus Brief. And someone O.K.'d a justices friends Council to submit a brief.
 
congress doesnt have a leg to stand on for any of those proposals until they control spouses and members from making millions on insider trading.
 
Financial disclosure would also allow congress to check for such conflicts too.
haha Congress can’t even do their current job for one…two they have no business or authority telling a seperate co equal branch of govt where they have conflicts

and lastly they have a hard enough time following their own ethical rules…heck AOC whi’s been leading the attacks on Thomas is herself under a Congressional ethics probe
 
Because there is no punishment involved?
If we insist on treating these people like Gods, don't clutch your pearls when they act like them
who treats them like gods???

they are but one branch of the government that gives opinions,,

the problem comes from fucking idiots that think they make laws or have any other power than to say a law doesnt abide by the constitution,,

I havent heard your opinion on sotomayor not recusing herself after being paid millions and then overseeing a case on the people that paid her millions??

1) No
2) an amicus brief isn’t business before the court, in fact they are specifically written by those who don’t have business before the court
3) no, anyone can write one to the court. they might not all be read snd likely the vast majority aren’t, let alone make it rhe a justice. Some organization, a justice’s friend is a member of, that write one, isn’t a conflict….now if some organization paid a judge millions of dollars and then actually had a real case in front of that judge, that would be a conflict…potentially
 
Of course there are standards...at any point that there impartility might be reasonably questioned, where they have personal bias or prejudice.

There are no requirements for disclosure. What Judge recused where one didnt?

The differene between Thomas and Sotomayor, is that there was NO case in front of the Court involving the family friend...unlike Sotomayor. There was no actual conflict.

Ginni Thomas was heavily involved in election fraud conspiracies. Clarence Thomas should have recused himself from cases related to stolen elections
 
True. Democrats are gonna try to remove conservative Justices just like OJ Simpson lawyers removed jury members during his trial. Democrats are going to search and scour every minute detail and blow it up to fabricate a crisis in the Court so They can replace Justices or at the least cause the American citizens to lose confidence in the Court. Democrats love democracy until they don't love democracy.
The da garchetti did that by moving the trial from the burbs to downtown. He wanted a maximum amount of blacks on the jury to avoid another riot. He admitted this in the first episode of the ESPN oj documentary.

Congress has oversight responsibility over the government, both the executive and judicial branches,. Nobody ever said they did their job well, but it is their job, and they need the information to do their job.

they don’t have oversight of the president, VP, or the SCOTUS.on how they run their branches. They are seperate coequal branches of Govt.
 

"A well-known conservative legal activist who has helped shape the modern Supreme Court arranged for the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas to receive tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work - Leonard Leo, the former longtime vice president of the Federalist Society who helped President Donald Trump’s administration vet nominees for the high court, instructed Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill a nonprofit called the Judicial Education Project and to pay Virginia "Ginni" Thomas $25,000 - No mention of Ginni, of course," The Post quoted Leo instructing Conway."

The Post reported that Conway's firm, the Polling Company, paid Ginni Thomas's firm $80,000 between June 2011 and June 2012 and expected to pay $20,000 more before the end of 2012. It was not clear what the money was for, though Leo told The Post in a statement that it "involved gauging public attitudes and sentiment." In his statement to The Post, Leo explained his desire to keep Ginni Thomas' name off the paperwork by asserting he has "always tried to protect the privacy of Justice Thomas and Ginni" because of how "disrespectful, malicious and gossipy people can be.”


Leonard Leo is right; the spouses of Supreme Court justices shouldn't be subjected to the vengeful, malicious world of politics - therefore they shouldn't have to disclose anything they receive financially from mega donors - unless those donors are supporting causes that we disagree with...in that case, it is sinister and worthy of prosecution. However, that is not the case in this situation...Ginni has always made it known that she is apolitical and seldom engages in any sort of political pressure campaigns or activism --out of respect for her husband's position as Supreme Court justice.


The lib media and the Deep State are only going after Clarence because he is a black....but a good black, not a bad black like Ketanji Jackson...why won't they investigate her and her spouse? Why won't they talk about the 34 million she received from China once she was nominated to the Supreme Court? There are also reports that her husband received 22 million from Soros for his work in planning terrorist attacks with Antifa as well as training trannies to become mass shooters...why isn't anyone investigating that? Why? because the media and the Deep State are at war with Conservatives, especially black Conservatives and their families.
Wouldn't the same logic apply to the families of all senior government officials, say Melania Trump or Hunter Biden?

And the defense and idiot judge removed over half the original jurors and replaced them with morons.

Highly hypocritical yes. It should affect the people's beliefs though.
